Hello,

Using strip metod, i dont understand if the best is to cut short the hair

or to leave them long. For the doctor it makes a difference?

I believe the scar is deep, so with short hair how many days to wait

before going back to normal life (work): can you post photo after operation

about scar in the back. Advises from persons who did it.

And last if there are persons from italy or a referent italian.

THanks

I came for consultation.I was told i need 2000 grafts .I am 27 years old i have one question that how many time we can have a FUHT surgery ?

I am asking this as i am confused that should i go for this now or wait for some more time.

Regards

Rajinder

I'm considering going to Dr. A. at some point about my hair loss.  I've seen many pictures and believe that between 5 to 6000 follicular units should do the trick.  Was hopping some kind of cloning would be around by now by my guess is that it will cost a crap load and give me the same results as getting this done with Dr, A only it would be probably 10 years from now.  My only concern is price just like everyone else.  I've taken a look at the pricing on this and it seems reasonable.  Although, currently, I don't have the financies to pay it off (that is getting an fue for 21000 buck or so) I'm hopeing that adding the Trichophytic closure would help with the pricing and would only leave an invisible scar or atleast a small scar where it would be very hard to see or find.  My question is basically exactly what I've writen...what do I need to do to fix my hair enough to where I can be rid of the mental agany of balding for the next 15 years.  This stuff has devistated my life because I've been dealing with it since I was very young and became an out caste or social leapard to my friends when I was young because I couldn't get a date if my life depended on it and now my friends are married with good, steady jobs all because they haven't had anything that caused their self esteem to undergo a train wreck many times over.  I'm tired of always being the odd one out since high school because of this sickness and I need a doctor to help me get my life back...as if I had a "life" to get back...more like start a life at a late date. 

Dear forum readers,

Long term follow up of patients that have undergone hair transplant, helps in timely intervention in case of progressive hairloss.It also highlights

1. The importance of long term planning before getting the first hair transplant,

2. The different options patients choose for acheiving their hair restoration goals.

Delta visited us first in 2006. He underwent 5000+ FUHT grafts in 2 sessions.In the first session, the frontal areas were transplanted at 60 grafts per sq cm.In second session, the thinning vertex and crown were transplanted at 30 to 40 grafts per sq cm.

Delta's hairloss has continued at a slow to moderate rate over the years. As a result, the crown has thinned out and the temple points have eroded.

In Delta's third hair transplant, FUSE grafts were transplanted from the scalp, beard, chest and pubic areas.The chest and scalp grafts were transplanted to create both the temple points and hairline lowering on the right side.The beard and pubic hair was transplanted in between the previously grafted scalp hair.

See Delta's result video

Delta's before and after pictures can be seen in his photogallery

Regards,

Dr. A

Dear forum readers,

Long term follow up of hair transplant patients is a topic that interests me. I am sure it does many of our readers too.This is a case of a patient who was an early NW 6 when he visited us for his first hair transplant.His first HT focussed on creating a young hairline and filling the front and top vertex areas.The crown was left untouched as the patient wanted (for personal reasons) to go for only a full length strip FUHT procedure.Over the past 2 years he has lost more of his pre existent hair. However, he is happy with the overall progress.He visited us recently for a follow up and further transplant.Here are some pictures from April 2009. In April 2009, we carried out his 2nd HT focussing on further closing the temples as well as filling the crown swirl area.

Dear readers,Vishwanath underwent a 4421 graft procedure 4 months ago and is happy with the progress.He visited for a follow up at 4 month mark and shared his progress.View Vishwanath's video at 4 months.
